訪日客、21年上期は99%減 過去最低の9万6300人

 日本政府観光局が21日発表した2021年上半期(1~6月)の訪日外国人数(推計値)は9万6300人だった。上半期としては過去最低。新型コロナウイルス流行前の19年上半期と比べると99.4%減少した。変異株の感染拡大を受けた入国規制の強化が響いた。

Visitors to Japan Tumble 99.4 Pct in Jan.-June


The number of visitors to Japan in January-June dived 99.4 pct from a year earlier to 96,300, the fewest ever for the first half, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization's estimate released Wednesday.
   In January, the number of foreign visitors recovered to 46,500 thanks to the gradual easing of Japan's entry restrictions on the back of decreasing new coronavirus cases.
   But the government tightened the border control again due to the spread of, among others, the highly infectious delta variant of the novel virus.
   From February, monthly visitor numbers remained at around 10,000.
   The decision to bar spectators from the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics dashed expectations that foreign tourists would come back to Japan in line with the Games.
